The criminal conduct centred around the man’s employment at Apple from December 2008 through December 2018.
Dhirendra Prasad, a former Apple employee who was charged with defrauding tech giant Apple and related tax crimes, has been sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to pay more than $19 million.
He was charged in March 2022 for stealing around $17 million from the iPhone maker through mail and wire fraud schemes.
Prasad, 55, from Mountain House in San Joaquin County, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to defraud the US on November 2, 2022.
The remaining counts were dismissed at sentencing, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a statement.
